What Could Be Worse Than Gitmo?

[Proletariat]

Tensions between Iraq and the US continued as ceasefire agreements were violated and UN weapons inspectors prevented from doing their job.

There was a ceasefire predicated on Iraq's obediance with the UN resolution.

Of course they went as far as firing upon US and I think maybe British planes, yet some still think this is an illegal war.

I bet those slaves in the USA before the civil war had it great too. They got to work outside, smiling in the fields, pickin' cotton all day long, and they didn't have to worry about a single thing because their master took care of them. They didn't have some horrible drill master spitting in there face, that's for sure, so everything must have been great for them. What a life! I wish I was a black slave in the early 1800's, that would be so great. I'm sure it was a dream, or, as Cheney said about the Gitmo detainees, 'they're living in the tropics' and have everthing a person could possibly want. So torture must be ok, since US soldiers live where there is worse weather and have a hard task at their voluntary basic training camps.

It all makes sense to me now.

So torture must be ok,

What torture?

They didn't have some horrible drill master spitting in there face, that's for sure,

Only the name of the antagonist is different. Hey they didnt whip us in bootcamp. Trying to compare Gitmo with conditions on a slave plantation is as bad as Dick Durbin comparing it to a Soviet Gulag. Shame on you.
